The most important judicial position in New
jersey Is that which has been held so long and
with such marked ability by Chancellor Run
yon. No one imagines that the inexperienced
lawyer whom Governor Green has named to
succeed him will be able to do the work of the
court as well or as wisely In superscding man
who commands the universal respect of the bar
and the people of the State Governor Green
may fatter himself that he has got even
with somebody, but that is small motive
for the administrative head of State Govern.

The Governor may have been moved by noblcr

The men who managed the boycott on the
Old Dominion Line of steamships some time ago

that the boycott and strike were merely forms
Of passive resistance to the acts Of the company
and such as lie within the right of every free
man that the defendants melted no violence
and violated no contract. This is point

special from Oarihsge, Tenn, eits:
Chestnut Mound, ten miOs rbove
here, WAS visited last n ght By a water
8 out which caused death and destruc-
ton in it's work, and almost ruined
that section Of the country. Near
midnight solid body Of water was
precipi ate d and swept down the val.
lev with terrible force. One small
branch rot fifteen feet in few mo-
ments, rushing upoL David Bushs
house. The water lifted the structure
from it's foundation. The building
fell to pieces and 6oated away. Mr.
Bush and his family being asleep were
unaware OF the danger until they were
thrown from the beds into the water.
The darkness was so intense
that Mr.. Bush was unable to
render assistance to his family, but
when he made his way through the
water he found that all had escaped,
with the exception Of his 10 year cid
son. The little fellow was heard cry
ing for help, and Mr. Bush again
plunged into the food but could not
find the lad. Mr.. Bush was caught in
some driftwood and narrowly escaped
bsing drowned. Tho body was found
this morning and bur ed. All the
telephone lines above Carthage ara
down. The creeks are past fording
and all communication with the up
per town is cut of. The government
gauge at this place has been swept
away, and it is impossible to tell the
stage of the river which is rising

TIE Ohio river is rising rapidly, at
the rate of six inches per hour, and is
expected, as the upper rivers are also
rising, to reach sixty feet before to-
night The weather for some days
has been spring-like about Pittsburg
and north of that city, and the melting
SHOWS are feeding the streams more
rapidly than they have capacity to
carry of the surplus water. Ffeshets,
as a consequence, are looked for, and
great destruction OF property, unless
the people in the valleys, warned in
time, take precautions for the always
dreaded emergency. The planters be-
low Memphis should make prepara-
tions aud look to the levees. There
is no present danger, but it is we'll to
be warned in time. ..

cattle, according to the reports re-

the frequent chinooks saving them
from any great loss. The last trust

company's officials were letters dated
